Phnom Penh - An elephant that was captured in southern Cambodia after terrorizing a village has been sent to a zoo for 're-education' and may be mated with a female, local media reported Friday.

Locals responded by attacking the beast with sticks, knives and fireworks before the Cambodian Forestry Administration subdued it.
